Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Wipfli.
Intern
It was a typical interview. The employer responded quickly and it was easy to schedule. The hiring talent was very nice and the process went smoothly. I spoke with people at the career fair before applying.
- Can you share how you decided on your field of study?
Intern
I interviewed for an internship and it was the worst, most unprofessional experience ever. It was supposed to be an hour but went over by an hour. After some technical questions, the manager/partner was super disrespectful. They showed my transcript and asked about every class I didn't get an A in. It was really awkward. They also asked about my hobbies, and when I said golf and volunteering (I meet 3x a week for a volunteer org), the partner sarcastically asked if my weakness was perfectionism and to be honest. I said I was serious, and they responded sarcastically, asking for details about my volunteering. I said about 6 hours a week and where, and they dismissed it as not counting for anything. It was the first and only time I was glad to be ghosted after an interview, especially for an internship.
- Can you explain how to calculate EBITDA?
Intern
The interview process started with a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter. It was a casual chat about my college and major choices, and they briefly touched upon my resume experience without going into detail. The recruiter explained the company's background and asked if I had any questions throughout the call. This led to scheduling an in-person interview. The in-person interview lasted just under an hour and consisted of answering several situational questions in a laidback, conversational manner. I got a call with an offer two days later.
- What led you to choose your college?
- What led you to choose your major?
- What information do you have regarding the firm?
